You would have thought that they could get the vowels in order!

Indeed.    There's an even better one, in a different kind of way, on the Alternates list for the Kish Island (the iranians ust banish thm there to prevent their contaminating the general population!) M15, a Hong Konger who rejoices in the name of Wan Him Donovan Yim.

And Matt manages to get the win over his vowel-blessed opponent, 14-12, in the MTB

NB How do you think Matt pronounces his surname?

I can do the South bit

But is the end 'Com' or 'Comb' or 'Coom' ?

Re the pronunciation of Matt's surname, I'd hazard a guess (& it's no more than that) that it rhymes with Boscombe in Bournemouth the phonetic spelling of which features a "k", an upside down "e" & an "m", so more like "erm" without the "r" lengthening the "e" sound (I can't reproduce it here because Activeboard won't support the characters).  That's how I "hear" it in my head anyway.
